v0.29:
- Fan control is now System control, and allow to use this functionnality to control any hardware with custom scripts
- New System control script which shows how to control nvidia video card overclock
- One minor bug fixed
- in custom sensor, the ':' after the label has been removed and it'S possible to choose the icon to display
- new "howto.txt" file with custom sensors and system control examples.

i got the after installing ls-sensors
but my prob is how can i put them to the command line on custom sensor like the fanspeed, CPU Temp, M/B temp and others.. sorry for being such a noob on this things.. im new to linux..

When you are in the properties panel of the screenlet, in the "Watermark" tab, select "Sensors" in the first combobox.
Then, in the second combobox, you should be able to see all your sensors. Just select the one you want to see. (update of the screenlet may take 10 seconds).
You need to quit, then restart screenlet watermark after you installed lm-sensors to have sensors visible in the second combobox.

If you want to display several sensors, then just launch several time the screenlet and configure each one the way you want.

Is there any commandline software provided by ibm which can provide sensor values in a well organised and described way? Specially for thermal sensor.
Such command line software may help to be sure all IBM computers will be supported.

Or, do you have any documentation or detailed /proc/acpi/ibm file description?

How did you found which number was what sensor for thermal sensors? You gessed or found some information elswhere?

can watermarks take advantage of sensors not recognized by lm-sensors? when i attempt to install lm, it doesn't find any sensors that it recognizes, however, i know there is at least one temperature sensor onboard, as GKrellM can pick up on it.

I can't get the 'memory' watermark to display anything under Gutsy. Also, what should I enter in the text fields in order to show any sensors? I've figured out "temp" brings up a temperature monitor, but will not display a temperature for my box (same with temp1, temp2, etc. as shown in the screenshot). Thanks in advance.
